Raw Rating Report: Owens vs. Seth holds viewers in the third hour, Raw finishes in top five among all cable shows in key demo

Last night’s episode of WWE Raw on USA Network averaged 1.700 million viewers, the lowest viewership number since the Feb. 14 episode on SyFy. The prior low for a USA Network episode was Jan. 17.

The first hour averaged 1.755 million, the second hour averaged 1.678 million, and the third hour averaged 1.668 million viewers.

It drew a 0.48 rating in the key 18-49 demographic. All three hours of Raw finished in the top five among all cable shows in that demo in spots 2, 3, and 5.

The first-to-third hour dropoff was 87,000, among the lowest in months and well below the average this year of 221,000. Raw headlined with Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins, so they get some credit for holding viewers better than usual.
